I currently run the Eclipse Java compiler (ECJ) plugin in Maven in order to scan my code for errors and warnings. I want to design a plugin for Maven that is able to take in all the errors and warnings found by the ECJ in order to parse through them.

I am stuck on how to go about reading the ECJ output. My first instinct was to output it to a file and have my plugin read that file, but there must be a better way I can pass the ECJ output into my custom plugin.

Maven's architecture does not envision any flow of significant amounts of data other than through files. Plugins run in isolated class loaders with very limited interaction with each other.
